After looking at it fascinatedly for a long time, Ye Yi'an finally reached out his hand. As soon as his fingers touched the huge cold and thick blade of the Sky-Splitting Demon-Slaying Sword, it was like a hidden dragon in the abyss suddenly soaring into the air and turning into a flying dragon in the sky. In a daze, Ye Yi'an seemed to feel a powerful sound from the bottom of his heart. The silent roar of the rushing tide. This sudden and silent roar was so powerful that in an instant, Ye Yi'an's tenacious mind was also taken away by it. After a brief moment of blankness in his mind, Ye Yi'an felt a sudden tingling pain in his fingers. When he looked down, he seemed to be stunned. At some point, his fingertips actually touched the blade of the Sky-Splitting Demon-Slaying Sword. , and now there was a deep gash at the fingertips. The bright red blood flowed out, but not a drop fell to the ground. Instead, it turned into a strange red line and wandered around the edge of the Sky-Splitting Demon-Slaying Sword. Finally, after covering the entire paper-thin blade, it slowly recovered. Qin entered the blade. Then the Sky-Splitting Ghost Slayer Sword returned to its long-lasting silence. With its simple style and dark black blade, except for its staggering width and length, there was nothing eye-catching about this sword. It was in perfect harmony with the darkness around it. The fusion is seamless. A dark giant sword! A person who walks in the darkness! A perfect match! When Ye Yian retracted his finger that had stopped bleeding, he felt more obsessed with the Sky-Splitting Ghost Slaying Sword and a little more surprised in his heart. The strange phenomenon of the blade absorbing human blood just now clearly proves that this sword was sacrificed with human blood when it was first forged. Just like the legendary famous sword general Mo Xie needs the blood of the swordsmith as a sacrifice before he can become a weapon, if not A peerless soldier would never be like this. Therefore, even if we ignore the complicated inscriptions on the blade, this sky-splitting ghost-slaying sword is still a famous weapon. Since there is a restriction on the use of elixir power in the cave here, Ye Yi'an had to bring the Sky-Splitting Ghost Slaying Sword back to the secret passage outside the restricted range when he came back, and then put the tyrant sword into the Qiankun in his sleeve. This process is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do. It just can't make any sound. What's more terrible is that the Sky-Splitting Ghost-Slaying Sword is too heavy, far heavier than its huge shape shows. If it weren't for Ye As a practitioner, Yi An has elixir power flowing in his body. Faced with such a giant sword weighing hundreds of kilograms, he is probably helpless and sighs. Returning to the secret passage again, Ye Yi Anfang activated his elixir to put the Heaven-Splitting Ghost Killing Sword into Qiankun's Sleeve, but the elixir suddenly broke away from the guiding and transporting line and flowed into the blade. Then he saw the complicated clouds carved on the blade. The text is lit up one by one. Having experienced the blood sacrifice just now, Ye Yi'an did not panic when faced with this anomaly. Not only did he not restrict the elixir power flowing to the Sky-Splitting Ghost-Slaying Sword, but he deliberately guided it slowly. When all the complicated seal carvings on the entire blade were illuminated, the originally dark blade of the Sky-Splitting Demon Slayer Sword suddenly turned into a dark green, soft and crystal clear green light. Suddenly, this simple and unpretentious giant sword It suddenly showed a dazzling beauty, as if it were carved from the most precious jadeite in the world. It was so luxurious and eye-catching. The whole body's dark green color did not last long. Soon, the blade turned into black again under the constant introduction of the elixir power. This black color was completely different from its original dry darkness. It was smooth and bright, just like Fengge Mountain. At the center of the spiritual eye is the light of the Yao Ling stone that has been soaked in the original spiritual power of heaven and earth. It is first dark green and then dark black, which is exactly the original color of the elixir condensed in Ye Yi'an's "Chrysalis Butterfly Secret Technique". When the mysterious black light faded, the complicated clouds on the blade also faded. As all the elixir power was directed back into the body to condense the elixir, the Sky-Splitting Ghost Slaying Sword returned to its inconspicuous, dull and simple form. The only difference was that The huge blade shrank several times according to Ye Yi'an's thoughts. At this time, looking at this overbearing sword, it is no different from ordinary swords in the world, and it is even more inconspicuous. He had just lost the Full Moon Scimitar, and in the blink of an eye he had acquired such a powerful and powerful sword. While Ye Yi'an felt happy, he also regretted that the place was too inconvenient to test the power of the Sky-Splitting Ghost-Slaying Sword. able. After putting the knife solemnly into the Qiankun in his sleeve, Ye Yi'an, who had stripped his whole body cleanly, followed the secret passage and sneaked back into the cave where the statue was. Hidden in the shadow behind the statue, Ye Yian carefully looked at the entire cave. What he saw was shockingly huge and unexpectedly simple. The uneven ground and the dome with intricate stone marks all indicate that this mysterious place buried deep at the bottom of the black water swamp was originally a huge natural cave. Although it was cleaned up later, the cleaning was rudimentary. Basically, you can't see much difference between it and not cleaning it up. The cave is empty, and because of its huge size, the emptiness is even more empty. The only thing in between was two equally huge statues, but the carvings were horrific. Apart from that, the only other things in this cave are the traces of burning that can be seen everywhere and the petroglyphs that cover the entire lower level of the stone wall. Those burning marks are obviously the result of the smoke and fire caused by many people making fires here. As for the rock paintings, they are rough and crude. Not only are they single in color, but their painting techniques are not at all advanced. At a glance, Ye Yi'an felt like a group of three-year-old children randomly picked up a stone and scrawled it on the wall. After surveying the cave, which was so empty that he could see everything at a glance, Ye Yi'an shook his head. He didn't expect that what was finally revealed after all the twists and turns was such an inconspicuous and simple place. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a place where treasures from heaven and earth were hidden. look. At this time, the simple stone door artificially added by the cavemen has been opened, and the light penetrates through this. The fourteen Taoists attracted by the virtual phase with the talisman formation also entered the cave. They were forming a seven-star formation in front of another huge statue, sitting down and chanting sutras. Their chanting lasted for a long time, but there was no other action. And because the cave was too big and the elixir power could not be used, Ye Yi'an couldn't find out what they were chanting even if he wanted to. People who spend a lot of effort on these divine passages that can drive powerful talisman formations such as the Great Banner and the Great Banner will naturally not come here just to chant sutras. It was precisely because of this thought that Ye Yi'an did not withdraw. He hid deep in his body and waited for the Taoists to reveal the answer. After waiting for a long time, Ye Yian simply looked at the rock paintings on the cave wall with the help of dim light. These rock paintings, which have no skills at all and are just simple and rough lines, are very simple in content. They are basically simple repetitions. Ye Yi'an looked at the effective pictures for a long time before he recognized that the first painting was of a person covering his arms. His stomach curled up into a ball, looking in extreme pain. The next few paintings that followed were similar to this one. Although the parts covered were different, the pain was the same. Then, the content of the mural changed. It showed someone collecting different grasses, stems, fruits and trees to eat. But after eating, he was as painful as the previous paintings. He even lay directly on the ground. The meaning of the painting was clear. already dead. Ye Yian spent a lot of effort looking and guessing to figure out the meaning of these crude pictures. After that, there were more than a dozen scenes that were similar to this one. They all said that different people collected different things and ended up being poisoned, or suffering extreme pain, or dying directly after eating them. After this series of scenes ended, the content changed again. This time, a person appeared. Judging from the distorted lines on the screen, it seemed that she should be a young woman. This woman was traveling and accidentally saw a naturally formed boulder in the mountains that looked like the head of a dragon. She stood under the boulder for a long time. The next rock painting said that her belly grew inexplicably as soon as she returned. The next painting shows her giving birth to a son. At this point, the simple rock paintings finally have the first character with more depictions and a relatively clear image - the son that the young woman gave birth to inexplicably turned out to be a monster with a dragon head and a body. fetal. Seeing this, Ye Yixin's head suddenly moved. The content of a classic that I had seen when I was studying with my master in the valley of Kirigakure Mountain suddenly came to mind. Shennong! These rock paintings actually depict the story of Shennong, one of the Three Ancient Emperors! The book Ye Yi'an read before was "Century of the Emperors" written by Huang Fumi, Mr. The content is mostly collected from Jingchuan Tuwei and miscellaneous books of various scholars. It records many historical events that are missing from "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", and is very famous. According to the "Century of Emperors", Shennong's real surname was Jiang, and his mother Andeng was born in the Youyu tribe, and later married the king of the neighboring Shaodian tribe as his concubine. One day, Andeng came across a stone while traveling in the sun of Mount Huashan. The dragon, feeling something, got pregnant immediately after returning and gave birth to a son with the head of a dragon and a human body. This son who was born with a strange nature grew up to be virtuous. He taught the people to grow grains, develop agriculture, taste various herbs, and pioneered medicine. He was deeply revered and loved by the ancient ancestors, who respected him as the God of Agriculture and was named Shennong. According to records, the place where he tasted herbs was the vast Shennong Ridge near Xiangzhou, and he eventually died in the Shennong Ridge due to excessive poison accumulation in his body. It can be said that the name of Shennong Ridge originated from the Shennong family. At this point, the origin of this mysterious cave is self-evident - this is the temple where ancient ancestors worshiped Shennong. These dense rock paintings depict the origin of Shennong and his great contributions. Ye Yi'an let out a long breath quietly, and when he looked at the simple and crude cave in front of him, a different feeling suddenly came to his heart. How many years has passed since the time of Shennong, one of the Three Ancient Emperors? Thousands of years later, he had a chanceWe all came together to this place where ancient ancestors worshiped. How could we not let our hearts surge and our imaginations wander as we think about that great prehistoric era when gods and men emerged in large numbers! As for the fact that he secretly mocked the simplicity of this place just now, it is really too shallow. After a long time, Ye Yi'an finally calmed down completely. While the Taoists were just concentrating on chanting sutras, he ventured out from the shadow where he was hiding and saw that one of the two huge statues standing in the cave was a human dragon. head. When he returned to the shadows, Ye Yi'an frowned slightly. One of the two statues was of Shennong with the body of a dragon and the other was of a woman with the head of a human and the body of a snake. Although the statue of Shennong is upright, its upper body is shown bowing towards the woman with the head of a human and the body of a snake. The woman is holding a thick bamboo slip in her hand, as if she is about to award it to Shennong. Ye Yi'an's impression is that the only one who fits the image of a human head and a snake body is Nuwa, the ancestral goddess known as the Emperor Wa. There are many records about Nuwa's creation of humans and her patching up of the sky, and everyone knows it. However, there is no record of Nuwa granting scrolls to Shennong, one of the Three Emperors, in ancient times, and there are no legends related to it. In this case, why do sculptures of this shape appear in the Shennong Temple that has been preserved from ancient times? If this is true, why are many other things related to Shennong recorded and handed down, but this event, which was destined to cause a sensation in the world at the time, was so completely obliterated in the long river of history? Without this matter, how could the ancient ancestors who were simple and ingenious as recorded in the "Tao Te Ching" expend endless manpower to erect such two sculptures? In addition, as shown in the sculpture, what exactly is recorded in the scroll that the ancestor goddess Wa Huang wants to confer on Shennong? While Ye Yi'an was indulging in the thick fog left over from the prehistoric era thousands of years ago, there was new movement among the Taoists in Dharma uniforms who were chanting sutras in front of the huge sculpture of Emperor Wa in the cave.
